Tips:
- Follow the recipe carefully: Baking is a precise science, so it's important to follow the recipe exactly. Don't substitute ingredients or change the measurements unless you know what you're doing.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your trifle will taste. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overbake the gingerbread cake: The cake should be cooked through, but not dry. If you're not sure if it's done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before assembling the trifle: This will help to prevent the cake from breaking apart.
- Make the eggnog pudding ahead of time: The pudding needs to chill for at least 2 hours before it can be used. You can make it up to 2 days in advance.
- Use a trifle bowl or other clear glass serving dish: This will allow you to see all the layers of the trifle.
- Layer the trifle carefully: Start with a layer of cake, then a layer of pudding, then a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the bowl.
- Garnish the trifle with grated nutmeg or crushed candy canes: This will add a festive touch to your dessert.
